Sweet looking cabinet!! Nice work!

[Keri]

Wow!! Great job on the stand and canopy!

[michika]

Agreed, very good stand and canopy!

[mseepman]

wow...you built that in one day...I don't want to talk about how long my canopy took me.

What kind of light is going in there?

[rocketlily]

Thanks for the compliments on the canopy and stand. I figure my "free" stand will probably cost me around 20 hours of time. I'm working on staining it today, 2 coats of stain, then it needs 3 - 4 coats of clear.

For lighting, I am hoping to put in an 18" SlimPaq Actinic T5HO. It's been back ordered by the supplier, without a delivery date, but hope it will be in when it's time to put in water.

What date do we put in the water?

Tell me more about this lighting would you? Maybe a link? I am definitely interested.
